Through her cries, he reproached her, and concluded: "How could you disobey mother so?" for she had been enjoined not to follow her brother. "What are you going to tell her about getting hurt?" "Tell her I did it with the ax," she replied. "That will be the truth?" she questioned, with the prevarication of her sex inborn. "Yes, that's the truth, but it is not all the truth.
That is why I have clung to the triple dogma of prevarication, damnation, and redemption, that is, perfectibility through justice. Liberty here below is always in need of assistance, and the Catholic theory of celestial favors comes to complete this too real demonstration of the miseries of our nature.
"I never detected Mr Uggleston in any act of smuggling," replied my father more coldly, for the officer's hectoring manner offended him, and I felt that if he told what he knew, it would be to someone more in authority. I glanced at old Jonas, and his eyes twinkled with satisfaction. "This is prevarication, sir," cried the lieutenant; "but I am not to be put off like this.
"He did not tell you that, in recompense for every benefit, he stole upon her sleep and aimed a dagger at her breast. There was no room for flight, or ambiguity, or prevarication. She whom he meant to murder stood near, saw the lifted weapon, and heard him confess and glory in his purposes. "No wonder that the shock bereft her, for a time, of life.
But meantime the nobleman arrived, and Henry, in deference to his rank, gave him precedence, and stepped into another apartment to hear his story.

In a short while, Tai-yue came. "My dear cousin," Pao-yue said to her smilingly, "tell me without any prevarication which of the three characters is the best written?"

She could not remember that in her life she had ever spoken or written a lie in so many words, though, like most people who are not saints, she had prevaricated a little occasionally to save herself or others from some unpleasantness. In this case no innocent prevarication would serve. Even if she had been willing to lie, she could think of no excuse which would seem plausible.
In the face of such evasion and prevarication it was out of the question to let the matter drop.
